The day of the Presidential election, an in- | teresting one always to Americans, is made | especially $0 on its recurrence this Sth day of November, i-61, by the deep importance of the issues at stake. Disguise the fact as politicians may for their Own purposes, there isno denying that the tate ct the Union depends upon to-day’s vote. Shall our leaders in the Cabinet and the field, whose sole purpose is the suppression of the rebel- jion, and who hayeso nearly completed the good work, be endorsed and sustained; or shall the reins of government be given (virtually) to those who are plotting not only tor a dishon- orable abandonment of the contest, but who @re scheming for the disruption of the North into petty confederacies on the Jeff Davis plan? | That is the plain issue. Not that there are not patriotic men arrayed on the side of the opposition, b&t that in the event of the defeat of Mr. Lincoin and the election of General McClellan, the men of the Wood and Vallan- digham stripe would be the roling spirits, and Would dictate the policy of the administra. | tion. | The effort to defeat Mr. Lincoln is the last throw of the dice with Jeff. Davis; and the | imperative necessity to the Uorfederate cause of his defeat, is shown in the desperate efforts | being made by Davis’ agents in the North to | carry the election by gigantic frauds, oath- bound conspiracies, border raids, &c., &c. But all these desperate schemes have provi. dentially been thwarted in season, and have returned to plague the inventors; and to-day all the indications point to an orderly, peace- able election. And with an election so con- ducted there cannot be a doubt—especially if the fall elections are any index—of the re-elec- | tion of Abraham Lineoln by a majority that ‘will give joy and courage to loyal hearts every- ‘where, and cause a corresponding discourage- Ment to the enemies of the Union, North, South and throughout the world. | To afford our readers a basis of calculation | and comparison, we subjoin the vote at the last Presidential election : | Presidential Vote of 1960 in all the Loyal States.

A resolution was offered and passed requir- ing the judges to register the names of all per- sons who take the oath and offer to vote, whose votes are rejected, noting opposite the name of each person the cause of the rejection. &c. The cards prepared for the use of jndges of election to-day contain the form of oatn with 4 series of interrogatories to be put to voters, &c. One of the questions to be propounded at a certain stage of the examination is the fol- lowing: “Do you recognize and consider the oath you have just taken, as presentedin the Constitution, to be legally and morally bind- ing upon you, and have you taken the same without any mental reservation or evasion !” =I SIOR (tobe, No. tr.will beheld THIS EVENS ING, at 7 o'clock, to make arranzements to xt- tend'the funeral of 8ro.W».

The Fighting on Saturday More Serious than First Reported—The Enemy Re. pulsed in an Assault upon our Lines, (Correspondence Associated Press. 4 EXZADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE Potomac, Nov. 6—P. M.—The fight on the picket line last night was more serious than was reported in my previous dispatch. It appears there is a point on the line near the erater which is not very straigat, and the enemy have been de- sirous of straightening it by advancing their Pickets and taking possession ot ground held by our men. | Last night was selected for the work, and the attack was made just about the time the moon disappeared beneath the horizon. Col. McAliister’s brigade of the 3d division, 2d corps was on daty here, and having received a slight intimation of an attack were somewhat prepared. The rebels succeeded in reaching our line with the loss of five or six killed and several wounded, and being in pretty strong force, got possession of the line held by the 120th New York and the 11th New Jersey, taking & few prisoners. Our men fell back until reinforced trom the 120th and one company from the 11th New Jer- sey, and after quite an engagement they retook the works, capturing 41 prisoners, The re- Mainder retreated to the point whence they started, but a number fell Beneath the shower of shells from our batteries. Their loss is be- lieved to be about one hundred men altogether, and all who were badly wounded. as well as the killed, still lie between the works, neither party allowing the other to advance to their acsistance. Our loss is about 30 altogether, few of whom are prisoners. Betore deylight this morning the line wasre- established in the same place as formerly, and to-day the sharpshooters have kept upa con. stant exchange ot leaded compliments, Nov. 7, a.m.—Allis quiet this morning.

Gates—in the presence of a large number of friends and acquaintances. They left for Philadelphia to spend the boney moon. a Aftairs in Georgetown. About twenty minutes past six o'clock this . Morning, fire was discovered in the stables belonging to George Hill, Esq., on Prospect, near High street. There were two stables—one brick, the other frame—both of which were destroyed, together with a quantity of hay, harness, and wood. The loss will not exceed $1,000. The fire was evidently the work of an incendiary. The firemen were out promptly with their apparatus, and rendered importent service in preventing the spread of the flames. The police also were on the spot, aiding the firemen and protecting property. The fire alarm telegraph does not extend to George- town, consequently the alarm did not reach the Washington fire department. Brrtinc on ELgctions.—This merning, some little excitement prevailed among the politicians in tewn, which resulted in the staking of a few hundred dollars in bets on the general reenlt. One of the bets taken was an offer of fifty dollars against a hundred that Lincoln will not be elected. The Union man thinks his money safe enough.
